Self-released in 2007, Jay Soto’s debut album “Long Time Coming” is an excellent calling card showcasing the multiple styles of this highly talented guitarist. Recorded at SotoPop Studios and produced by Jay himself, he wrote every song except the last tune Black Orpheus, a classical tune by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá with typical Samba flavor. Jay was also the lead guitarist for Zum Zum Zum, a highly acclaimed Latin group based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Soto’s involvement with the group taught him the finer points about Latin rhythms, which he now incorporates into his playing and technique. A wonderful example is Song For Mary-Cruz. Near to classical flamenco music Jay involves his personal attitude. Soto also arranged, played guitars, keyboards and drum programming on all the tunes. Soto’s Smooth Jazz guitar stylings are fresh, innovative and tasty. Lot’s of amazing guitar work. His sense of melodies are memorable and technique, solid. He seemlessly incorporates many styles such as Pop, R&B and Latin into his guitar playing.Long Time Coming
